    I get atleast 4 phone books a year tossed on my doorstep. Never once since moving here(6 years ago) have I had a landline. It's a useless waste of paper, that for the most part, is outdated by the time you thumb through it. Good riddance

    I believe this is a money saving move for Verizon. In larger markets like Wilmington, Baltimore, DC, etc, Verizon prints a separate white pages from it's yellow pages... I believe that since the white pages do not bring in advertising revenue like the yellow pages do... that it makes business sense to stop delivering/printing them. Legally, at least until now, phone companies have been required print and distribute a white pages.
